The Zach Kryton Series
The Zach Kryton Series introduces a new action hero to the military thriller genre. Bold, gritty and suspenseful, the Kryton series has equal doses of action, intrigue and realistic drama.
Discarded by his own country, Zach Kryton thought the days of risking his life hunting bad guys in the dark corners of the world were over. A lifetime of service terminated with the stroke of a medical practitioner’s pen. However, after a man is murdered on a humid moonlit night, and the only witness narrowly escapes, a ghost from his past resurfaces and calls in a long-held debt. Kryton soon finds himself surrounded by intrigue, espionage and action as he discovers that a routine operation exposes a conspiracy with global ramifications. Reluctantly called back into his former life, the situation may just present itself with what he has secretly wanted all along…a second chance.
In this dramatic sequel to Pegasus, Zach Kryton and his team go deep into the contested South China Sea to search for the source behind the near-catastrophic attack in Timor-Leste. As the region teeters on the brink of war, he finds that the threat is closer to home than first thought. Kryton must use his skills and intelligence to help uncover the truth before two superpowers engage in all out conflict.
A finely blended mix of action and suspense, Poseidon continues the Zach Kryton introductory series, leaving readers on the edge-of-their seats and questioning who is friend and who is foe.
In this thrilling finale to the introductory series, Zach Kryton continues pursuing those responsible for the attack on the U.S. President. As he gets closer to the heart of the conspiracy, the stakes are raised even higher as casualties continue to mount on both sides of the Pacific. Phoenix concludes the introduction of the Zach Kryton saga, firmly establishing a new action hero into the modern thriller genre.
After successfully stopping a high-level political assassination and helping prevent a war between two superpowers, Zach has found the sense of purpose he had been seeking since his forced early retirement. He leads the creation of Greyfin – a top-secret US and Australian intelligence unit designed to uncover and stop the threats to global peace and harmony.
Greyfin is soon called into action, responding to a suspicious death at a remote Australian mine site. What ostensibly appears to be a bungled attempt at corporate espionage is quickly determined to be something more sinister. Kryton and his team of highly trained and motivated operators soon find themselves following a trail that leads them to exotic locations including Bali and Dubai. When they encounter a force equal in size and skill to their own, they must quickly determine who the enemy actually is.
The Greyfin team continues their global manhunt for the assassin that killed a Russian scientist in remote Western Australia. Following the trail into Europe and the Middle-East, they will discover that seemingly innocent players are not who they think they are, and as they get closer to the truth, they will be forced to risk all to save one of their very own.
